INTRODUCTION

The Graduate Program in Teacher Training and Interdisciplinary Practices (PPGFPPI -Programa de Pós-Graduação em Formação de Professores e Práticas Interdisciplinares) in the area of Education, a Professional modality of the Universidade de Pernambuco, is located in the municipality of Petrolina - PE, in the northeastern semiarid region.

This program was approved in 2014 and began operating in 2015 at the Master's level, as a result of the need for continuing training demanded by the institution itself.
